National Crime Victims’ Rights Week (NCVRW) 

National Crime Victims’ Rights Week is a time to honor survivors, raise awareness, and strengthen support for those impacted by crime. Learn how communities can make a difference and how even small actions can help victims rebuild and reconnect.

Sexual Assault Awareness Month

Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) is a time to support survivors, raise awareness about sexual violence, and identify strategies to prevent such crimes. The 911 Cell Phone Bank, in partnership with law enforcement agencies and advocacy programs, is addressing this critical issue by providing victims with “clean” cell phones—devices free from tracking or monitoring that can serve as lifelines for escape and independence.
